Juniors: Jones High School is a member of the Oklahoma City Community Foundation Central Oklahoma Guidance Counselor Network. This allow Jones Students to be eligible for their many scholarships. They have a scholarship available for Juniors and Jones High School is guaranteed to receive one if eligible student applies. This scholarship is the New Opportunity Scholarship(NOS). I have attached flyer for this scholarship. You will need to go to OCCF.org/scholarships and create an account and then apply for this scholarship.
The two primary requirements are:
1) to be in top 50% of your class in GPA. If your GPA is 3.14 or above you are in top 50%.
2) Be a first generation college student. The OCCF has modified definition and the modified definition is below
First generation college students are students whose parents/grandparents did not go to college. (if parent or grandparent went one or two semesters but did not graduate, you will still be considered first generation)
First generation does not include siblings. Your siblings can be in college or went to college and you would still be considered first generation.
If you meet qualifications, I would highly encourage you to apply for this $3000.00 scholarship.
If you have any questions, see MR. Moses
